Body Shop Self Audit Checklist

The app can be used along with an inspection process or regular internal audit. Using the checklist and taking any necessary corrective action helps to ensure that each work area throughout the workplace is keeping employees safe from exposure to any potential hazards. It can also help keep your body shop in compliance with any regulatory requirements.

Body shops handle all kinds of repair work to the exterior of a car, ranging from small repairs to paintwork from a scratch, correcting damage from a fender bender, or more comprehensive work from an accident. Often times, a car dealership will have a body shop as part of their organization so they can offer repair services to customers, and they are often considered certified, approved body shops with insurance companies. The body shop environment can be dangerous, if not managed properly. The shop should be a safe place to work, free of debris and properly maintained to prevent accidents. Body technicians should receive proper training and certification since they may be using hazardous materials and dangerous equipment. Chemicals and other materials that may have environmental impacts will need to be disposed of according in EPA requirements, and requirements of other local agencies. Employees will also need to wear personal protective equipment such as proper footwear or respiratory gear. Above all, a safe and clean environment will help retain employees, increase customer satisfaction and make the business more profitable for the business owner.
